Why Charities can be a threat?
Charities hold valuable data on beneficiaries, supporters and volunteers as well as invoice and payment details. Criminals attack charities via the internet in the same way as they attack other organizations, seeking to steal information and money, deliver ransomware into their network or access their email account to impersonate them.
Criminals will also try to access the organizations that supply services to the charity to gather information to launch a bigger, more targeted attack. Since the pandemic, more charities than ever have moved their services online and their volunteers to working remotely. This means that the ways to cyber-attack the charity have multiplied and there has never been a better time to get the key cyber security controls in place.
